English genius, fresh out of university, and working for Henry van Statten. He had hacked into the Pentagon's computer systems when he was eight years old. Van Statten employed Adam to go through the flotsam and jetsam of alien tech he collected and discover what it was, how it worked and how to suggest ways of utilising it for Geocomtex. Adam was a bit of a dreamer and was fascinated by the universe. He and Rose Tyler were pursued by the Dalek once it had escaped the Vault in Henry Van Statten's underground base.
